Enjoyed getting to see Portofino the day before our cruise ship arrived. Could see the possibilities of this quaint city. Had great tour of Cinque Terre too.

I was born and raised here in Livorno, the sea gateway to Tuscany. I organize tours all over the region and transfers all over Italy. I cater mainly, but not only, to cruise guests who have limited time to spend ashore. I have designed some private tours geared on them, to allow the clients to visit the Tuscany highlights and "off the beaten path" destinations too. Although I am not a licensed guide and I cannot take people inside museums, I am able to deliver a commentary giving basic informations about the places you are going to visit. The tour includes roundtrip transportation and english speaking driver-guide. I arrange cycling tours as well! I provide top notch hybrid or road bikes, me as english speaking guide, helmets, transportation to the tour starting point and back to the ship. I also provide transfers all over Italy to or from any Tuscany's destinations. I have a License for driving people on a minivan, and for delivering cycling tours as well. I am not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside historical monuments or museums.

Overview of your La Spezia tour
Portofino is the most upscale seaside village in Italy. It will be our firs stop where we will explore this gem embedded in the italian Riviera. A visit at the Brown Castle ot the top of the spur overlooking the village is a must Cinque Terre are 5 small pictoresque villages clung on the cliff in the Liguria region. The area is a state park, one of the most famous coastal area in italy. Here we will expore the area moving bwetween the villages with my minivan or boat as an option. On the cliff they have been farming grapes and olive trees on terraced slopes for centuries, so you have the opportunity to make a stop for a tasting. We will include a stop at Portovenere a village nearby and beautiful indeed. My relation with this area goes back to long time, as I am fond of water sports and I came here on the weekend to swim, canoeing and sunbathing. My long presence here make me very knoweledgeable of the area and its history, so you are sure you will see all the highlights and the most panoramic spots

Leonardo’s timing and driving were impeccable! He took us so many stops during our short stay in port. He helped us avoid crowds. Very knowledgeable. We will always book Leonardo when in Cinque Terre/Portofino!

Leonardo is a great guide. He was extremely knowledgable about Protofino and the Cinque Terre towns. He even arranged a spur of the moment winery visit. He was very respectful of our walking issues and kept the pace just right. Highly recommend his tours.
John P.United States
Absolutely wonderful tour of Cinque Terre. He was so easy to plan with and accommodated any changes we made to our itinerary. He anticipated the need to make lunch reservations for us due to that day's crowds and we loved the restaurant he chose. He was very knowledgeable and friendly, sharing his expertise with us whenever he felt it would be helpful. We spent almost 9 hours with Leonardo and enjoyed every minute! Highly recommend this tour guide!
Jennifer S.United States
Leonardo was an excellent guide during our visit to Cinque Terre. He made sure to take us to the most beautiful locations for photos as well. We had lunch with him in a delicious local restaurant, where he guided us in ordering the local specialties. He even helped me to practice my Italian along the way. I would highly recommend this tour and Leonardo to anyone!
